CFO Requirements - photocopies

[ButterFinger 14]

Hi! I saw somewhere this was asked but I couldn't find an answer.

Can I submit photocopies to the CFO? Photocopies of my birth certificate & CENOMAR specifically.

I gave my originals to the USEM, obviously it's in the yellow package that I'm not supposed to open. And my CFO schedule is on June 1st, rescheduling will be my last resort.

Thanks.

CFO states they want to see an original and will keep a copy. With that said I know of others that did fine with just copies

Thanks for the advice. And thanks for pointing out the additional info. I totally did not know of the other possible docs they may ask.

The "other documents" and information needed that are listed on the link I gave you are asked for all most all of the time.

Hank is right. When I attended my seminar, they only took the photocopies but they needed to see the original documents.

[ButterFinger 14]

Thanks you guys!

Update: Luckily they didn't ask for my originals nor photocopies anymore. So got my sticker & certificate afterwards.

[Hank_ 9,174]

That is great news.

Safe Travels!
